Change your white balance during a sunrise or sunset. Take your camera off auto white balance and switch to Cloudy or Shady white balance. This will add more strength to the reds, oranges and yellows. Auto White Balance tries to keep colors neutral.

Looking for inspiration for your photography? Look no further than Learn & Explore, the area on the Nikonusa website that is packed full of educational articles, how-to tutorials and inspirational pieces on all sorts of photography topics.

Carry your camera manual, especially if your camera is new. When traveling you'll probably have a chance to try some new shots. It can also be the time you’re likely to forget the function of a particular button. Or you may just want to explore all the cool things today’s cameras offer.

Experiment with the white balance settings outside. White balance on your camera will alter the color temperature and appearance you get in your picture. For instance, a CLOUDY setting will give your pictures a warmer cast. The FLUORESCENT setting will make your photographs cooler, skewing to a purple cast.

When traveling abroad, check the power setting and type of plugs. Most modern chargers do both 110 volts (USA) and 220 volts (most of the rest of the world). Check yours, and then pick the right adapter for the plug. Be careful to not use a 110-volt power strip in higher-voltage countries.

Turn on the lights when shooting inside the house. Lamps and overhead lights will brighten any picture indoors. The light will add depth to the picture and often warm up the color. Most importantly, it will brighten up the background.

Be creative with your posing. Don't just line everybody up. Use the steps or the arm of a couch to experiment with some people standing and others sitting. Have kids sitting in laps or someone sitting on the floor or kneeling. Mix it up.

Get yourself in the picture. Nothing is worse than a vacation with no shots of the family photographer. Get in the picture by using a tripod (or a steady surface such as a wall or a car hood) and the camera’s self-timer to make sure you're included in the family memories.

Jump for fun. Have your kids line up for a picture. As the photographer, get low, and get ready to shoot. Have the kids all jump in the air at the same time. Capturing them mid jump can bring out their true personalities.

When photographing a lot of people at a party, use your camera’s Smart Portrait System to help you get better pictures. The blink mode lets you know if your subjects blinked, and the smile timer can snap the photo when the camera sees that your subjects are smiling.

Try turning off your flash at night to get what your eye really sees. If it's at all dark or dim, the camera will try to fire the flash. Find the flash off icon (usually a lightning bolt with a line through it) and select it. Make sure to hold steady, or use a tripod, because the shutter speed may be slow.

Use the pet scene mode when photographing cats and dogs. If your camera doesn’t have a pet mode, disable the audible beeps and focus assist lamps while photographing them so the lights and sounds aren’t a distraction.

Go shooting with a friend. Not only will you add another pair of eyes to find interesting subjects, but you’ll also feed off of each other’s ideas and energy. Try to organize regular shoots in the park. Share lenses or tips on making that unforgettable photo.

Use fill flash to add a little sparkle to your subject’s eyes when shooting portraits outdoors, during the day. Even in bright sunlight, fill flash can even out the lighting for a more pleasing photograph.

Compose photos using the “rule of thirds.” Think of the frame as being broken into nine rectangles (like a tic-tac-toe grid over the picture). Place your subject at one of the intersections of the lines for a more visually stimulating photo.

When shooting an image that has a subject looking off to one side, compose your photograph so there is more space where the subject is looking. This will give your photograph more of a natural feeling.

When shooting landscapes at dusk or nighttime, use a tripod and cable release or self-timer so you can slow down the shutter speed to let in more light. This is the technique used when you see pictures of car lights as lines, not pinpoints.

One of the rules of composition says that horizon lines should not be placed in the center of an image, but closer to the top or bottom of the frame. Sometimes rules are meant to be broken. When you’re photographing a subject and its reflection, its perfectly fine to place the horizon in the center of the frame.

Corporate Profile

Nikon is the world leader in digital imaging, precision optics and photo imaging technology and is globally recognized for setting new standards in product design and performance. The unique strength of the Nikon brand attributable to the company’s unwavering commitment to quality, performance, technology and innovation. Nikon Inc. markets and distributes consumer and professional digital SLR cameras, NIKKOR optics, Speedlights…

Inspired performance in a size that keeps you shooting.

Amazing photography isn’t only about what you shoot and how you shoot it, it’s also about what you shoot it with. The high resolution, multi-featured Nikon D7000 gives you 16.2 megapixels of vividly detailed images, a more sensitive DX-format CMOS sensor that delivers high ISO with low noise, plus various automatic and customizable settings to take your pictures and videos from great to gorgeous. Shoot up to 6 fps or record every second of the action with full HD 1080p D-Movies with Nikon’s advanced autofocus system to impress and inspire.

Stunning image details

16.2-megapixel CMOS sensor

Whether you want to make large prints or crop tightly in an image, the D7000 delivers the resolution you need. At its heart is a DX-format CMOS image sensor with 16.2 effective megapixels, optimally engineered to gather more quality light through sharp NIKKOR lenses. Coupled with 14-bit A/D conversion (12-bit selectable), the D7000 produces stunning images that are richer in tone and detail than previously possible in DX format.

A new era of movie capture

Breathtaking Full HD 1080p D-Movies

The D7000 is equipped to help you create impressive cinematic masterpieces with Full HD 1080p and movie editing functions for exceptional scene reproduction and quality. In addition to smooth video, the camera can compensate for distortion and other image-degrading problems. Aside from a built-in monaural microphone, the D7000 incorporates an external mic jack for high-quality stereo sound recording options.

Remarkably responsive

6 frames per second continuous shooting

Say farewell to missed opportunities. The D7000 incorporates a new driving mechanism to conduct its remarkably fast and precise mirror movements, giving you an approx. 0.052 second release time lag and an approx. 0.13 second start-up time. What’s more, you can continuously shoot at approx. 6 frames per second at both 14-bit and 12-bit A/D conversion for RAW shooting.

Crisp photos in any light

Wide sensitivity range of ISO 100 to 6400

ISO 100 to 6400 has now become standard with the D7000, enabling you to handle a wider range of lighting situations: from the bright and sunny outdoors to low-lit evenings and interiors. Nikon’s renowned noise reduction technology has been upgraded even further. Throughout the range, the D7000 delivers sharp images with minimized color noise. Quality, high-ISO performance can also enhance your movie shooting, allowing you to capture the mood of a scene using only available light.

More accurate control

Ground-breaking 2,016-pixel RGB sensor

After the incredibly accurate 2,016-pixel RGB sensor reads a scene's lighting information, the D7000 cross-references what it sees with imaging data from a large selection of real-world shooting situations. This way, the renowned 3D Color Matrix Metering II delivers exposure results that are faithful to how you see light and shadow interplay, even in difficult lighting situations. This intelligent metering technique also delivers exceptionally accurate i-TTL flash exposures, and it all happens within milliseconds for both speed and precision.

Powerful, wide-area coverage

Customizable 39-point AF System

The D7000's strategically positioned 39 AF points cover a significantly wide area of the frame, giving you flexible compositional possibilities. The 9 AF points in the center utilize powerful cross-type sensors—especially useful when you need tack sharp focus, such as with portraits and macro work. The D7000 offers a variety of AF area modes, including Dynamic-area AF using 9, 21 or 39 points. Utilizing Nikon's Scene Recognition System, Auto-area AF properly judges the main subject within 39 AF points and focuses on it.

Improved image quality and speed

The newest generation image processing engine, EXPEED 2, is capable of performing multiple tasks with more speed and power. Expect smoother tonal gradations, even in difficult shadows and highlights, for a greater sense of depth in your images.

Rugged and protected

With a top and rear cover of durable magnesium alloy, the D7000 is ready for the outdoors. Nikon engineers paid meticulous attention to where exterior parts join by employing durable sealing against moisture and dust. The compact body has also undergone severe environmental tests to prove its rugged reliability.

100% frame coverage

With approximately 100% frame coverage in the viewfinder, what you see is exactly what you capture. The specially coated glass pentagonal prism and precision-crafted finder screen offer not only a bright viewfinder image, but also enable you to easily confirm when a subject is in focus.

A Five Year Old Powerhouse
I've been shooting for almost a decade now, and I love the Nikon D7000. It's quick, has excellent image quality (with the right glass), and good durability. The fact it's still selling strongly after nearly five years is a testament to its quality. Add a much lower price tag, and you've found a deal that cannot be beat. Reviewers may complain the video quality isn't good enough or it doesn't have newest fads built in such as GPS, wireless capabilities, etc. Call me old school, but the point of a camera is to take photos. If you'd like better video quality, there are plenty of camcorders available. And yes, wireless, gps, and such is great, but then again you're paying a premium for it. What photography boils down too is having a solid, reliable camera that can grab the shot you want. This is wha you'll find in the Nikon D7000.

Nikon D7000 - Refubished by Nikon Canada - Excellent!
Purchased a Nikon D7000 from Nikon Canada 3 days ago and I could not be happier! The camera was in perfect body condition and the shutter count was 1300! If anyone is reading these reviews and have second thoughts about a refurbished model don't.
Love the camera itself, works perfectly, great dual wheel scroll for aperture and shutter speed! A bit hard for beginners (like myself) but great for growing into!

Full Featured, Compact, High Value, DSLR
The Nikon D7000 is an excellent, well built, compact, and high value DSLR. Its size, when coupled with Nikon DX lenses, makes for manageable transportation yet brilliant photographic results. Below is a photo of a Golden Eagle taken at a shutter speed of 1/400 of a second, an aperture of f/5.6, an ISO of 1000, Auto White Balance, and Center Weighted Metering.

Just learning my way around the D7000. I have a gym that is used for banquets with mercury vapor (pretty certain it is mercury) lighting that does not easily balance to white. Everything has a pea green cast.

a white paper will do the trickfor the green cast you can easily choose fluorescent in white balance menu. and note if you use a remote flash to cover it with a green gell cover other wise you may find your picture tone mostly reddish

The manual seems to indicate on page 85 that only the jpg images are adjusted. Are there any settings that control white balance and contrast on RAW files? Thank you.

White balance is applied to both RAW and JPG files.....just to make sure I tested it, but you will see a slight variation between the two. However, there are many settings such as saturation, sharpening, D-Lighting, etc... that are not applied to RAW files....hence why they are RAW.....they contain the original raw data to be manipulated in post processing.For more information, see the discussion thread on Digital Photography Schoolhttp://digital-photography-school.com/forum/nikon-digital-cameras/82217-do-you-use-active-d-lighting-also-questions-raw.html

Adjusting for white balance and selecting a picture control be will be reflected in both the jpg and RAW files.

But in the case of jpg file, you won't be able to change this once it is saved.If you save the picture in RAW file, You will sitll be able to change the photo white balance and the picture controlsetting in with software which is able to edit Nikon Raw (eg. ViewNX,Capture NX)

I read in a customer review that the sigma 10mm fisheye HSM lens on his d7000 did not work, but that his d200 works just fine. What seems to be the problem with using auto focus with the d7000 with the sigma 10mm f 2.8 HMS lens?

My understanding from what I have researched is that as CPU changes are implemented in new products that there is no guarantee that third party products will continue to work. I realize there are a lot of great third party products out there, but that is always a potential risk. Unfortunately he will probably just have to use manual focus.I always see many discussions on lens sharpness, compatability, etc.... and the best thing I can recommend is to rent it and decide for yourself. Hope this helps.

Nope. The P/s is a function of the firmware, the shutter mechanism, the circuits, and the ability for the SD card to uptake the images as they are loaded from the camera, not added amperage/voltage. The max the camera can push to the best SD card under perfect conditions is about 6 P/s. The SD card must be at least a Class 6 (the '6' in "Class 6" has nothing to do with the camera's 6 P/s rate, by the way; it's just a "grade" for the SD cards). If the card is anything lower, it is unlikely it will be able to accept frames at that high speed. The camera matches its loading of the SD card with images with the ability of the card to consume the images. You will note that each time you take a picture with the camera, a green LED on the lower right of the back of the camera lights up. That indicates the camera is pushing the image to the card. In regard to the battery, only use the batteries meant for the camera in the camera or connected to it. If you try anything different, you stand a good chance of frying the electronics and creating a very expensive paperweight. Your owner's manual has a section on what batteries can be used. If the battery you want to use isn't listed there, don't use it.

In RAW it's 14 Bits/channel meaning the 4 color-blocks making up a pixel each individually have 16,384 possible intensities. 2 greens, a blue, and a red means 16384 * 16384 * 16384 * 2 = 8.8 trillion colors per pixel with 16384 levels of intensity between black and white if you just want straight range. Even without Active-D Lighting, the range is pretty high. But an actual HDR effect is not built in; you can get a pretty good HDR from a single RAW but the camera won't do it for you.

Did you really mean D700? This forum is for D7000's. Your camera should have come with paperwork which indicated if it was covered with a warranty. Not all cameras are refurbished at Nikon, so you have to find out who refurbished it, then talk to that company, if you don't have paperwork. I can't speak to extended warranties, but in general terms extended warranties are usually only available at the time of purchase. If your camera was refurbished by Nikon, give them a call.

Camera settings. Which video settings do you recommend? Do video settings over ride photo settings ISO, aperture and exposure? What microphone or type of mic do you recommend? Can you recommend an external monitor or a hood that will let me view the camera monitor in bright day lite--it washes out. I have a Sony stereo mic that works and built a bracket to hold it. I have some issues with wind noise. The built in camera mic picks up servo noise and is almost useless. My bracket has a handle to stabilize the camera but I still have camera shake and it's easy to put camera out of focus on continuous servo . It is also difficult to zoom in and out and get a stable picture. I assume that you have to have the camera on a tripod to get stable video pictures.I really enjoy the D7000 because it's picture taking capabilities and additional features. It is a large step up from my D80 which is a great camera. Adding video to my still shots in slide shows and on our website is a great feature.

Those questions are hard to answer, since you didn't say what kind of videos you're shooting. Settings for videos for fast-moving objects are different than those for other types. In regard to the question about overrides, the answer is yes, but the camera is sophisticated. The things you set in video mode do not overwrite the still shot settings. Each mode has its own settings. The other responder answered the rest of your questions. The thing to remember about the D7000 is that its primary function is still pictures. The video mode is an added bonus, so the camera's capabilities are focused on still shots. If you surf the web, you can find books on how to shoot videos with DLSRs (well, sections of books, anyway). A book I just bought, which is REALLY good for someone who is more than a beginning photographer, but not a pro, is David Busch's book about the D7000. There's a good-sized section on how to use the video mode.

you need: tripods (the sturdier the better), either good prime lenses or a constant-bright zoom in the lower and higher focus lengths; if you can have lenses with VR, good, since video turns on VR as well. external mic: use something that has a windstopper (like a rode videomic with a deadkitten muffler). use any external HDMI field monitor or an LCDVF (a loupe essentially). don't use autofocus (it's useless), get ready to rack focus manually (you may want to get a 15mm rod kit with a follow focus on it, if you're serious about video).

I want to know how you clean the image sensor. Does it have the ultrasonic automatic sensor cleaning feature? Or do you have to clean it manually as old cameras?

The D7000 has an automatic sensor cleaner that operates each time you use the camera. Under normal circumstances you should not have to clean the sensor yourself. Check your user manual pages 284 and 285 to find out how to set personal preferences.

You didn't really give enough information about what is not working. If you take several pictures of the same subject in the same light, does the unit flash or not flash consistently, or is the flash intermittent, even if no conditions have changed? Remember that both the flash and the camera take light readings as you press the button, and adjust the flash based upon those readings. How do you have your camera and flash set up? What mode is the camera in (AUTO, P, A, S, M). What mode is the flash in?

However, I seem to remember if you have the camera on "AUTO" mode, and there is enough light for the photo, the flash will not operate. This is not a malfunction. Try putting the camera in P or some other mode. Also, sometimes the flash is very brief.....And if you take a series of shots in quick succession, or the batteries are low in the flash, the flash may not have had time to recycle and for the next flash shot.

Nikon cameras are manufactured in several places around the world. Look at the bottom of your camera body. It says the place of manufacture there. Mine was built in Indonesia. It works perfectly well, as you would expect a Nikon to operate. Remember, Nikon doesn't just hand off to factories. They carefully watch the quality and processes to assure that the equipment produced anywhere in the world meet their standards for that particular piece of equipment. Your warranty would be different between pieces of equipment manufactured in various places if Nikon didn't have complete confidence in their manufacturing facilities.

I cannot connect my D7000 to Windows 2000. Is it too new for Windows 2000?

It should not be an issue. Based on this link: http://nikonasia-en.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/6938/~/nikon-d7000-firmware-ver-1.01-download-(windows)

Windows 2000 is supported. You may need the firmware upgrade.

However, we find it much faster and more convenient to use the SD port on our PC, and just take the card out of the camera. If this is an older PC that you don't have an SD port on, you can probably buy one very cheap.

It is likely that your D7000 is too new for Windows 2000. Unlike newer OS's that will recognize and configure themselves for new equipment, Windows 2000 generally requires that you have software you can load which will allow the connection. It is unlikely that this software exists, since Windows 2000 is no longer supported by Microsoft, and Nikon probably doesn't write software for unsupported OSs. An alternative to getting your photos loaded would be to buy a card reader (they run anywhere from $10.00 to $20.00 USD). Plug that into your PC's USB port with the cards from the D7000 plugged into it. This MAY work (no guarantees). The best thing to do would be to upgrade to at least Windows XP or higher.

good news: apart from some very exotic nikon lenses (old fisheyes that protrude in the back so much they'd clash with the mirror) you can use ALL f-mount lenses with the d7000. the ones designated AF will autofocus with the body focus motor, the AF-S ones have their own focus motors, and AI lenses have no AF at all. light metering (and thus A (and possibly S and P) modes will become usable, not only M) is possible even with non-CPU (AI, AI-S) lenses, you just have to "register" such lenses in the Non-CPU Lens Data menu option.

If you buy the camera from Nikon, the price is for the body only. Some vendors offer "kits", which will include compatible lenses, for additional costs. Your question about which lenses are compatible has a lot of answers, but the best way to answer it is to say that any lens from Nikon that has the Nikkor "DX" designation will be compatible. There are other compatible lenses, both from Nikon and from other manufacturers, but a DX lens is specifically intended for DX cameras (the D7000 is a DX camera). If you are just getting into DLSRs a good lens to start with might be the AF-S DX 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6G VR. Though it is a "kit" lens, it is a good "do all" lens with pretty good glass and a middle of the road zoom focal length that will let you experiment with various types of photography until you decide what you are interested in. Once you've decided, then you can spend the big bucks on lenses that are best suited for your area of interest. You will get a lot of advice as to which lenses to buy, so read reviews and make your own decisions based on what you know you like to take pictures of.

Press the Focus Mode Selector button (this is the button to the lower right of the lens on the camera body as viewed from the front). This button is part of the lever which switches the camera from AF to M. Hold this button down while spinning the sub-command wheel (just below the shutter button, on the top left of the front of the camera when viewed from the front). This will change the number of focal points from 39 through a series of lesser configurations until you reach a single focus point. If you watch the LCD screen on top of the camera as you do this, you will see the number of focus points change until you get what you want.
